Business Ethics and Compliance Programme

The Business Ethics & Compliance Programme was developed following a risk based approach, creating the knowledge and structure to drive a world-class culture of integrity.

The Programme is underpinned by 12 key principles:

Top-Level, Top Down ethical management
committed to compliance with all laws and regulations and fostering
a culture of ethical conduct

Continual Executive oversight of the Programme
by the Board, the Audit Committee, the Group Executive, the
Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Committee and Business
Ethics & Compliance Committee

Establish and maintain Code of Business Conduct (CoBC
or Code) and Corporate Framework

Establish and maintain policies and procedures
proportionate to ethics and compliance risks

Appropriate due diligence on employees,
including potential employees, and intermediaries who will perform
services for or on behalf of the Group

Regular training on the Group's ethical standards
etc to employees and intermediaries as
appropriate

Monitoring and auditing of business practices, policy
requirements and internal controls for (i) compliance with
the Code, Corporate Framework and Group policy requirements and
processes and (ii) prevention of criminal conduct and fines and
penalties

Periodic evaluation of the programme's
effectiveness

Operate and publicise a Helpline by which
employees may report suspected instances of improper conduct and
encourage employees to make such reports

Promoting and enforcing the programme -by providing
both rewards for demonstrating good ethical behaviour and
disciplinary actions for unethical or criminal
conduct

Timely response to and disclosure of criminal
conduct where appropriate and credible evidence
exists

Our vision is to create a strong ethical culture to protect our
reputation by empowering people to act correctly and to want to do
the right thing.

Our strategy to do so is to implement and continually develop a
world-class ethical and compliance programme, helping employees
with day to day work by providing policies, procedures and
training. We encourage reporting of any issues as an early
detection system which helps identify such issues and allows us to
take steps in order to prevent situations becoming serious or to
prevent any reoccurrence.

Employee Training
We provide all employees with training on business ethics.
This is primarily online training. We train employees
annually on Code of Business Conduct and Anti-bribery and
Anti-Corruption. There is a full suite of training when
employees start with Cobham which covers a number of other subjects
such as Corporate Responsibility and Health & Safety and more
tailored training depending on the role of the employee.

Cobham's International Trade Controls team have sourced specific
training for those employees involved in import and exports.

Cobham's United States Government Contracting Compliance team
have created a suite of courses covering a number of relevant
topics depending upon the role of the individual
concerned.
